The Attorney General must coordinate federal reentry programs for people leaving prison. This means working with agencies like Housing, Labor, Education, and Health, plus outside groups. Within two years, the Attorney General must report to Congress on results and ideas to improve reentry.
(a) Reentry coordination. The Attorney General must coordinate federal programs, policies, and activities related to helping people reenter their communities after incarceration. The Attorney General does this in consultation with the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, the Secretary of Labor, the Secretary of Education, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, the Secretary of Agriculture, and the heads of any other federal agencies the Attorney General thinks are appropriate. The Attorney General also collaborates with interested people, service providers, nonprofit organizations, and state, tribal, and local governments. The coordination must emphasize evidence-based practices and must guard against services being duplicated.
(b) Report. No later than two years after December 21, 2018, the Attorney General, again consulting the Secretaries named in subsection (a), must send Congress a report. The report summarizes what the coordination work in subsection (a) achieved, and includes recommendations for Congress on how to further reduce barriers that make it harder for people to reenter successfully.
The Attorney General, in consultation with the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, the Secretary of Labor, the Secretary of Education, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, the Secretary of Agriculture, and the heads of such other agencies of the Federal Government as the Attorney General considers appropriate, and in collaboration with interested persons, service providers, nonprofit organizations, and State, tribal, and local governments, shall coordinate on Federal programs, policies, and activities relating to the reentry of individuals returning from incarceration to the community, with an emphasis on evidence-based practices and protection against duplication of services.
Not later than 2 years after December 21, 2018, the Attorney General, in consultation with the Secretaries listed in subsection (a), shall submit to Congress a report summarizing the achievements under subsection (a), and including recommendations for Congress that would further reduce barriers to successful reentry.
